Big Time

Polished 90s Nashville production meets a floor-shaking baritone. A balanced mix of rowdy honky-tonk energy and tender, wide-screen romantic ballads.

October 21, 1997 · Capitol Nashville

A confident blend of working-man swagger and surprisingly tender romanticism.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cavernous depth of the opening vocal line in Big Time that sets the physical scale of the record.
The weeping pedal steel solo in The Rest of Mine that bridges the gap between traditional and modern country.
The unexpected, haunting gravity of the closing traditional arrangement of Wayfaring Stranger.
